The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
Shortly after I purchase this vehicle brand new I noticed that the car jerks, or shudders when I drive. I even thought that it may be due to the front and back brakes so I would turn them off. As time passed this continued to happen even worse than in the beginning. It turns out the transmission is not good, this has almost caused me to have accidents thank God it hasn't happened, yet. I am trying to get out of this vehicle as we speak I have two children and would hate for something to happen to them on the only car I own.
I have a 2020 Nissan and I purchased it in 2021 with 80 miles and its 2023 and the engine is now bad. You mean to tell me that you pay 19000 for a car that’s going to mess up in less than 2 years
Check engine light came on went and got a diagnostics and P2859 and when i looked it up on google Nissan has had recalls in the past on the same thing
